Random question now I'm looking to come back.

 

I likely want the ability to field full squads of infantry as an option (although imagine I'll rarely be taking 20 men Squads as seem a little unwieldly) but my starting point is going to be smaller units and I'm also unsure how I'd equip the rest of the unit (given Grey Slayers can all take Power Weapons, I wouldn't give them all one though haha).

 

Would it make more sense to paint up full squads (not too much of an issue for any Tacticals/Bolter Slayers I'll have) or expand squads as and when I feel like it?

 

I can see cases for both.

Option 2 makes way more sense, especially if you want a mix of Despoilers, Tacticals and Grey Slayers.

And here they are.

I even builded more than one.

Thank you very much.

I must say that I have a lot of fun making them. Still unsure how I gonna paint them though.

Hope not too cheeky posting this here, a friend of mine has just started making 3D printed display plinths. Am using it as a good way to display my Legion champions!

Finished my Ultramarines squad.

Ostensibly they're for my son but on the sly I did them to update the Betrayal at Calth minis so I made them Vet Tacs. I also couldn't resist doing Thiel. Even if he isn't part of the story of the board game he was on Calth and that was enough justification for me. The A on the shoulder pads is the first letter of my son's name. He insisted on it.

Wow, they look really great @Corswain! Are those Grey Knights helmets sprinkled in?

Probably. I'm not 100% sure but I think so. A couple of decades worth of Space Marine stuff got mixed together in my bits box and I just found them rummaging through it.

Well, they do look good. Have to try some in my Ultras too.
